Quotations

I might repeat to myself slowly and soothingly, a list of quotations beautiful from minds profound - if I can remember any of the damn things.
Dorothy Parker

Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation. (De Profundis, 1905)
Oscar Wilde

The ability to quote is a serviceable substitute for wit.
Somerset Maugham
